This is Mackenzie, a fifth grader. She types at a rapid 119 words per minute and makes most of us look pathetic.
I’d be happy to just plain stop making typos and maybe type a bit faster, but Mackenzie won’t rest until she reaches a 200WPM pace. Geez, these overachieving kids nowadays. [Mashable via Boing Boing]

very impressive though.

@Hugh: Autism perhaps? Or she’s just a young geek.
